Small snippet from the Black Book:
We would characterize David Goyette’s game as a dynamic rushing center, who breaks down teams with his puck handling and skating combination. David Goyette finished the season with 73 points in 66 games at the OHL level; 54 of his points, and 28 of his goals occurred after January 1st. Points need context, and in this case it also represents a remarkable development curve in Goyette.
This draft seems somewhat unique in the sense that we have never experienced so many players have second half surges or up and down years. When looking at players that developed into far better players over the course of the season, or looked completely different if you took a six game sample of their worst performances, Goyette is right there with Ivan Miroshnichenko and Gleb Trikozov for the top spot
